7/28 Mental Toughness Thursday

Theresa letting those arms bend after she is fully extended. Nice job!
Today's Workout provide you with an excellent opportunity to work on the story you tell yourself pre-, mid- and post-workout. Oftentimes we tell ourselves we can't before we've even tried. Have you ever listened to the what you're saying to yourself? Would you say the same thing to your best friend? I bet not! Today, your mental toughness practice is too tell yourself pre-workout that you have the necessary skill and fitness to tackle the WOD. Your coach will get your physical body warmed up and ready, it's up to you to get your mental body warmed up and ready. Visualize each snatch. The weight is light, it will fly overhead through the power of your jump. 
During the workout, your goal today is to think positive thoughts. I can do this. I am capable. I can do another rep. I am strong. 
After the workout, listen to how you talk to yourself. Do you wish you could have gone harder or faster? Remember this for your next workout. How your nourish your mind post-workout is just as important as how our nourish your body post-workout.
​Words have power! It's important to remember that just because we think or say something it doesn't make it true. But the power of words is impossible to deny. You can change your entire life by the power of positivity. That doesn't mean ignoring negative things. Its means acknowledging their existence and working to not to let negativity take root in your mind. Good luck!
Today's workout is all about speed and recovery. We are sprinting through some short intervals and resting to allow our metabolism to recovery to go full tilt again. As you get tired, focusing on your technique becomes vital to successfully snatching the bar. Remember to breath during the workout and let your exhales lengthen during the rest.
